SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 339,419, dated April 6, 1886.

Application filed Nm'emher I1, 1885. Serial No. 182,503. (No model) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. HOYT, of Stamford, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful ln'iprovenleuts in Hollow \Vare, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention consists of ornamental hollow waresuch, for example, as vases, jars, boxes, &c.made in Whole or in part of the pith of cornstalks.

. Reference is to behad to the accompanying drawingsjorming part of this specification, in which similar letters of referenceindioate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure l is a perspective view ofa circular jar made of pith. Fig. 2 is a perspective of an angular box made of the same material.

The circular vessel A is made of the pith of cornstalks cut into small curved blocks a and connected together with glue or other adhesive material. The square box B (shown in Fig. 2)

' is made of fiat, square, or brick-shaped pieces I of pith cemented edge to edge and joined at the corner. The bottom B may be of pasteboard, wood, or other material, or it may be made of pith, as desired.

I am aware of the fact that hollow ware has been contrived of coiled rattan, of paper reenforced with vulcanized water-proof material, and of pressed paper strengthened by layers of cloth or veneer, and of the further fact of the preparation for general use in the arts of the pith ot cornstalks.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

' As a new article of manufacture, hollow ware made of the pith of cor1.1stalks,the latter being in the form of blocks joined or connected together, substantially as set forth.
